'Protester' shot dead in eastern Saudi Arabia

A protester has been killed by security forces in eastern Saudi Arabia, activists have said.

Munir al-Medani, 21, was shot in the chest late on Thursday when police fired on a demonstration in the town of Qatif, in Eastern Province, they added.

The police confirmed a man had died, but said officers had responded after being shot at by unidentified gunmen.

The protesters were reportedly demanding the release of Shia political prisoners and democratic reforms.

Qatif is home to a Shia majority that has long complained of marginalisation at the hands of the Sunni ruling family, the Al Saud.

Shia are non Believers in the Saudi hell hole.

Their being killed is no news as far as the damned Saudi Wahhabis are concerned.
